I am

‘I am’ (Self) is happiness.

Where thoughts cease, happiness reigns supreme; such is the truth
about happiness. 

(Sadhu Om The Path of Sri Ramana (part one), Ch. 3 Self-enquiry
is the Only Way to Happiness)

Get rid of all questions, all doubts, all fears, all apprehensions about spiritual life and live in the moment unafraid, full of total joy and happiness and peace. And you will see you have always been enlightened you already are enlightened everything is okay.

But if you keep worrying about when it's going to happen aren't you really saying: "I don't have it yet, there is something really wrong? I am not that and I have to become that?" For in truth you are already that. For in reality you're already enlightened there is nothing you have to do and nowhere you have to go. Be yourself. Be the way you are, totally, completely. The way you are not the body nor the mind nor the experience. The way you are not the doer.

Know that the eradication of the identification with the body is charity, spiritual austerity and ritual sacrifice; it is virtue, divine union and devotion; it is heaven, wealth, peace and truth; it is grace; it is the state of divine silence; it is the deathless death; it is jnana, renunciation, final liberation and bliss.

FIX THE MIND ON THE SELF

Maharshi: Practice is power. If thoughts are reduced to a single thought the
mind is said to have grown strong. When practice remains unshaken it becomes sahaja (natural).

Devotee: What is such practice?

Maharshi: Enquiring into the Self. That is all. Atmanyeva vasam nayet .....
Fix the mind on the SELF.

quotes

"Don't depend on the body and don't remain confined to the body. Use it, respect it, love it, care for it, but remember: you have to leave it one day. It is only a cage, it will be left behind, and the bird will be gone. Before that happens, take care of the bird too. Cleanse your consciousness, because that will be going with you. Your understanding will go with you, not your body.

So don't waste too much time in decorating it with cosmetics, with clothes, with ornaments - don't waste too much time with the body, because the body belongs to the earth and the earth will claim it back. Dust unto dust. You don't belong to the earth, you belong to some beyond, to some unknown. 

Your home is in the unknown, here you are only a visitor. Enjoy the visit and use it as much as possible to grow in understanding and maturity, so that you can take home your maturity, your understanding, your wisdom."  

OSHO
